Translator's Note

If you look closely, Roblox is a product with a novel concept.
When you see advertisements, videos, or news promoting Roblox, it may seem like a large-scale game, but in reality, it is an engine for developing games and a platform for enjoying the developed games.
Game development is a dream that anyone who likes games has probably dreamed of at least once, but in reality, it is quite difficult, so it is easy to give up without even trying, or even if you do try, you will quickly become frustrated.
Yet, Roblox has become a platform with tens of millions of games and 160 million monthly active users.
The company that runs Roblox is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and Roblox's popularity has skyrocketed as people look for ways to entertain themselves at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This means that Roblox is an easy platform for game development.
Roblox has truly become a leader in popularizing game development.

One of the key factors that has enabled Roblox to gain such popularity is its easy and intuitive development engine and service structure.
The Roblox platform focuses solely on enabling users to easily realize their imaginations in games, and boldly eliminates or minimizes anything that gets in the way of this.
Roblox took care of the technically complex parts that were absolutely necessary.
The graphics prioritized fast implementation and optimization using simple block-based shapes, and many functions were implemented in the engine for ease of use, while at the same time, the programming language required for advanced gameplay logic was incorporated into Lua, an easy-to-learn language.
The most important and technically challenging multiplayer is implemented and serviced by Roblox itself.
As such, Roblox's entire goal is to make game development easy.

Roblox is also recognized as a platform at the center of the metaverse, which has recently been attracting global attention.
Leading global companies like Facebook recently changed their corporate name to Meta, predicting that the metaverse will occupy a large part of our future, and each is pouring massive investments and efforts into creating such a world.
These efforts have been in full swing over the past five years.
However, Roblox has faithfully implemented and built upon the concept of the metaverse as a “virtual world platform developed and enjoyed by users” since its launch in 2006, when the concept of the metaverse had not even been established.

This book will help you easily enter the world of Roblox.
It is structured to help you grasp the concepts and basic operation of Roblox by explaining various parts, including the introduction and structure of the Roblox engine, usage, and monetization, with examples.
If you're a reader who's reading the introduction to this book in a bookstore, I hope you've taken your first steps into the world of Roblox and game development with this book.
